Suicide rates are much higher among males. So maybe this assumption does not hold.
- selectodude 6y agoSuicide rates are higher for men, attempted suicide rates are higher for women. Men just tend to use more successful methods in their attempts.
- scarmig 6y agoEven within a given category of method of suicide, men are more successful. If you look at countries where gun suicides are pretty much nonexistent, men still "successfully" complete suicide at a rate approximately 10x that of women. That should be taken as a sign that "suicide attempt" numbers shouldn't be taken at face value as evidence that women have it harder than men.
